Cinematics?

[Lvthnn]

Hi! I'm new, but pretty experienced with the world editor. So this is my question: creating a cinematic after a map where the user has the capability to train units. I don't want the whole map flooding around with units! Any help would be appreciated.

There are many ugly solutions to this..

Pausing every single building for example.

You can simply Pick Every Unit in Entire map, filter picked units with a condition and hide them all.

Interesting statement.

Interesting statement.

I suppose he meant that he is newly registered but have been modding with the WE for a longer period before signing up here.

Else it wouldn't make sense indeed ^^

 

[Lvthnn]

Will try it, thank you guys!

You want the buildings visible though, right?

 

[Lvthnn]

Yes, I do. But not the units, they might get in the way of the shot. I'd make sure that the buildings couldn't be built where the shot is

 

[Lvthnn]

Hey, I tested the advice you gave me, and it had good and bad results. The units were indeed invisible, but I could still see their shadows! Is there any way to hide the shadows as well for a moment?

Perhaps pick them all then;

a. Pause
b. Store their locations and facing into indices (add +1 to the integer per unit, then store data[integer])
c. Hide and Move to corner of map

d. After cinematic, pick all of them and move them to location[integer], facing angle[integer].
